When on life a darkness falls

by Brian A. Wren

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 631.

Verse 1

When on life a darkness falls, When the mist flows chilling, Paths and sign posts lost in doubt, Loveless, unfulfilling, Reach us, Jesus, from Your cross, Though we feel forsaken; Keep us through the aching night Till new dawns awaken.

Verse 2

When the dreams and vows of youth Painfully accuse us, Stab our conscience, steal our worth, Christ will not refuse us: Peace the world cannot provide, Daily resurrection, Strong companion at our side For each new direction.

Verse 3

Come and meet Him, Friend and Lord, Thro’ the gospel story: Open door to life and peace, Window into glory. All who seek Him, soon are found, Made His close relation: Christ our pathway, Christ our home, Christ our sure foundation.
